A Ginuwine Sweatfest
RHYTHM and Blues singer Ginuwine delivered a magnificent set at Saturday night’s SweatFest held at the Aqueduct in Montego Bay.
The singer’s performance was worth every scream. He entertained not only with his songs but dance moves and suggestive expressions.
Among his opening songs were Hell Yea, Same Ol G and Those Jeans. Most of the songs were dedicated to the ladies who hung on to his every word and move.
In between songs like Pony, Sexual Healing and This is What I Need, Ginuwine became the envy of every man inside the packed venue as he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips suggestively.
When he pulled handcuffs from his pocket, dozens of females volunteered to be his ‘slave’.
In the meantime, Tank’s debut performance in Jamaica was well-received. He connected with fans through songs like Emergency, Please Don’t Go and One Man, but the high point of his show came when he invited an excited female fan to join him as he performed the hit single, I Cant Make You Love Me.
Veteran Joe struck high notes with chart hits like I Wanna Know, Knock Me Off My Feet, More and More, and his rendition of Gregory Isaacs’ Night Nurse.
Earlier, Grammy-winning group Dru Hill proved that they still had ‘it’. Led by the flamboyant Sisqo, they wowed the audience to These are The Times, 5 Steps, Tell me What you Want, Sleeping in my Bed and Never Made a Promise. Sisqo also had fans singing along to Incomplete and The Thong Song.
There was hardly a dull moment during the inaugural two-day Sweatfest. Other entertaining sets came from 112, SWV, Raheem Devaughn, and Kut Close.
Although dominated by R&B acts, reggae/dancehall artistes Tanto Metro and Devonte and Wayne Wonder were not outdone.
Veteran R&B artiste and Sweatfest CEO, Keith Sweat, closed his show in fine style.
It was déjà vu for Sweat who was well- received at the same venue last year during Soul In The Sun. He added a local flavour this time, introducing dancehall king Beenie Man to perform Zim Zimma, Romie and Girl’s Dem Sugar.
Sweat was also joined by Blackstreet’s Teddy Riley and Kut Close.
